I swear, it’s true!

Poem: I swear, it’s true!

If only you knew

I turn the air blue

I swear in my sleep

Words that would make your jaw drop and your grandma weep

The B words

The C words

The S’s  and that F

During daylight hours

I mutter these under my breath!

F f f f f f f f!

Review: I swear, it’s true!

 What is the poet promising to be true?

It appears to be a confession. Is it to be taken seriously?

A lot of cursing is taking place and whoever the poet is telling this to is likely to be  borderline shocked, right?

Surprising and revelatory in the clue of the title of poem

It must appear to be out of character from the sleepy perspective of the poet.

How do they know that they swear in their sleep? They must be told this by someone? The neighbours? Who they share their home or bed with? (I am not going to delve further, I’m not that curious. It’s not my business) I could hypothesise and propose that it could the any of those, or all three have led the poet to be swearing in the first place! Oh, what a torment!

The B words, I can think of three

C words, I can think of two (are there more?)

I can think of one of the S’s and of course there’s the F!

The poet continues with swearing during the day. There must be lots of stuff going on and the swearing helps to alleviate the annoyance and frustration!

Muttering doesn’t sound that bad as they do not appear to be directing it at anyone. There’s no aggression. No, I’m not making excuses for them. I’m observing and attempting to understand the poor b@&#ard!

Reading this has made me self-reflect, I jokingly utter the odd swear word here and there at situations and unfortunate circumstances when they unfold. When I fancy adding another dimension to it, I use another language. Like the poet, It’s true, I swear it is!

A humorous conclusion of the poem with a row of strong f’s! FOR F’S sake!

A fun read.
